District packet recommends closing open enrollment at Wayzata High School for 2024–25, with limited exceptions
Summary
The administration included a resolution recommending Wayzata Public Schools close open enrollment for 2024–25 in grades K–12 and maintain a 1% minimum per grade, while allowing siblings and children of staff and limited additional slots; the packet describes how a lottery would be used if needed.
The board packet for Aug. 12, 2024, included a proposed resolution under Minn. Stat. § 124D.03 to limit open enrollment for school year 2024–25. Scott LeSage, Executive Director of Finance and Operations, is listed as the administrative contact for the Open Enrollment Non‑Resident Agreement materials.
The recommended resolution would maintain a minimum open-enrollment level of 1% at each grade and close open enrollment for 2024–25 in grades K–12, with exceptions: siblings of currently enrolled open‑enrolled students and children of district staff would be accepted beyond that limit, and the district would accept up to five additional siblings and five additional staff children beyond the limit at each grade level. The packet explains that, if necessary to meet the statutory minimum, the district would run a lottery to fill remaining slots. The materials show the recommended action as “Approve the Resolution Providing for Open-Enrollment Non-Resident Agreement for 2024-25”; the provided segments do not include a recorded roll-call vote.
